My Birthday was a nice birthday, I wanted to go to Paris, but Dyllon said if I set our budget to only 40 Euros it was pointless so....I said another time, when we have money and I feel comfortable spending some, I felt bad even going out to eat for my birthday so it was probably for the best that we didn't go to Paris, but I think we might go this weekend or next to France (not Paris) and get fresh seafood, it is suppose to be cheaper there, It is close to $8.00, for two pieces of Salmon here and we are craving some good seafood. On Friday last week we went to the next door neighbors for drinks and cards, I really enjoyed it since at midnight it was technically my birthday and it was nice to spend it with other people than just Dyllon and I, they had people over from work and the other people from the Duplex over too. We stayed there till about 4am, slept almost all day Saturday and then went to Chili's for dinner. We have been blessed with the nicest people who live around us, all military too, couldn't ask for better people to live around :) Sunday we went grocery shopping, and this must be the day everyone else goes because it was ridiculously busy, truth was shown to the fact that certain days groceries mark things up and down, on Sundays a 3-pk of Lysol wipes is 4.00 and the next day when I get a coupon for them they are back to 10.00, go figure. Also, before I forget, thanks to Gloria and Grandma Betsy for the coupons, we both really appreciated it! Tuesday we got our International Driver's License (hence why we can go to Paris now), and we registered the car, still have electrical problems and the muffler strap is broke and so is the windshield wiper fluid hose, but in time we will get those fixed, we are just lucky to be living next door to a mechanic (see all is well :P) Wednesday, we spent time trying to figure car loan information, and bills, long story short the wrong number got typed in for direct deposit and was worried where the money would be going, we believe this is all taken care of now. We figured out the internet company we were going to go through was not able to come here and hook up so..... we have to wait another 6 weeks for the internet to be hooked up, but thanks to our neighbors they have allowed us to "borrow" their internet for the meantime so now I will be able to keep you updated. I am sorry I haven't been on in a while, Dyllon works till 1 am and I got tired of hanging out at the Library till 8pm, the Enlisted Club till 12am and then the Laundry Mat for an hour (when I have no laundry to do, and there is no internet, and it was really cold) But it should all be solved now, so I will be able to continue to keep you updated :) I have been studying a lot for my boards so if I do not answer your emails, or I am short, or I refer you to the blog please do not be offended I just need to pass this the first time, it is more expensive to take over here by like 150.00 dollars. We got invited to go the neighbors again tomorrow night, they are grilling out, (it feels like spring here), Dyllon will be at work but he will join us when he gets off, they are making steaks, I am bringing a covered dish, I think green bean casserole and pasta salad (Kim's recipe) but maybe I will make a baked dish too, I dunno we will see :) I am not sure what is in store for this weekend but I will keep you updated, also when I get time I will upload new pictures, again I have been just trying to focused on my boards. Still waiting to here from the Fischer House about their volunteer opportunities as soon as I do I hope to be busy with that too. I am not pursuing a job until my boards have been passed, one step at a time. Well I think I have caught you guys up with the latest and greatest in our world, make sure you return the favor! Also, thanks to everyone for the Birthday Cards and presents, for some reason going to the post office to check to see if I got one is more fun than getting them all at once. Mom no I didn't get yours yet, Nancy I did not gets yours yet and I just read your email, I am sure it will be GREAT! Well I love you all if you have any questions please be sure to comment on the blog or on my profile. XOXOXO Kristen
